It could handle
all the prairie grain
that was coming of course not just
from Manitoba, but from Saskatchewan
and Alberta too. [narrator] Transcona's
giant elevator would clean,
sort and store grain destined to ship out
via railroad. The idea would be that
they would collect grain all over the prairies,
wherever farmers
were growing it
